Definitions
- Multicellular organisms develop and maintain a relatively constant size and shape over a wide range of different environmental conditions. This homeostasis is accomplished both by extrinsic mechanisms, e.g., movement that can reestablish a constant environment, and also by intrinsic mechanisms, e.g., mechanisms that alter cellular metabolism so that the organism can retain its morphology despite the altered environment. Animals have the ability to relocate themselves to a different location to. aintain constant external conditions, whereas most plants are anchored and can only bend in response to changes in environmental factors such as light, gravity, or mechanical force.

- One approach to identifying the genes involved in temperature homeostasis is to isolate Arabidopsis mutants that are unable to maintain size or shape over a broad temperature range. A mutant was isolated using this approach, bonzail ⁇ bon ⁇ ), which makes miniature plants at lower temperatures.
- the BONl gene encodes one of the copines, a protein widely conserved in plants and animals.
- the BONl protein is tightly associated with the plasma membrane and promotes aggregation of lipid vesicles in vitro.
- BONl associates with another protein BAPl which, when overexpressed, can suppress the bonl phenotype.
- the copine gene family may function in membrane trafficking and be transcriptionally regulated by the environmental conditions to which they are designed to respond.
- the invention is directed to isolated nucleic acids, BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl and BAL, which encode proteins that are necessary for normal growth, hihibition of one or more of these genes results in plants which are smaller in size (minaturized) when grown at lower temperature, compared to the size of the conesponding wild type plant (the same type of plant as the mutant but which does not have a defect in one or more of these genes) when grown at the same lower temperature. Enhancement of one or more of these genes results in plants which are larger in size, compared to the size of the conesponding wild type plant (the same type of plant as the mutant but which does not have a defect in one or more of these genes).
- the present invention also relates to transgenic plants having altered size (smaller in size, larger in size) compared to the size of a conesponding wild type plant, wherein the transgenic plant comprises exogenous nucleic acid which modulates (inhibits, enhances) BONl , BON2, BON3, BAP 1 and/or BAL in the transgenic plant.
- exogenous nucleic acid is nucleic acid which is obtained from_a sonrce.other.than the recipienLplan celL(z.e:, the.plant cell, into which the exogenous nucleic acid is being introduced), and which, when encoding a peptide, is stably expressed.
- the exogenous nucleic acid can be present episomally or integrated into the genome of the plant cell (into genomic nucleic acid).
- the exogenous nucleic acid can be DNA, DNA obtained from a source in which it occurs in nature, or produced by synthetic or recombinant methods.
- the present invention relates to a transgenic plant that is smaller in size than a conesponding non-transgenic plant, wherein the plant comprises exogenous nucleic acid which inlribits BONl, BON2, BON3 and/or BAPl in the plant.
- the inhibition of BONl, BON2, BON3 or BAPl can be partial or complete. Because BONl, BON2, BON3 and BAPl are likely involved in a physiological pathway, inhibiting BONl, BON2, BON3 or BAPl includes, for example, inhibition of the gene by knocking out the gene or mutating the gene in a way to render it non-functional ⁇ e.g., so that the gene does not encode a functional protein).
- Inhibition also includes interfering with the regulatory region of the gene, e.g., introducing a nucleic acid which prevents expression or the timing of the encoded product ⁇ e.g., splicing in a regulatory region, either upstream or downstream of the gene, which negatively regulates expression of the gene (interefering with, knocking out, or mutating regulatory sequences ⁇ e.g., promoter, enhancer) associated with the gene).
- a nucleic acid which prevents expression or the timing of the encoded product e.g., splicing in a regulatory region, either upstream or downstream of the gene, which negatively regulates expression of the gene (interefering with, knocking out, or mutating regulatory sequences ⁇ e.g., promoter, enhancer) associated with the gene).
- Inhibition also includes inhibition of the gene product ⁇ e.g. , protein, peptide), e.g., preventing the use by the plant of the gene's expression product, by mutating the gene product so that the gene product no longer retains its biological function or its biological function is significantly diminished; mutating a molecule with which the gene product interacts; introducing a molecule ⁇ e.g., peptide, small molecule) that binds the gene product thereby inl ibiting its function.
- Inhibition also includes inhibiting a gene or gene product upstream in the pathway in which the particular gene is involved, e.g., a gene in the BONl pathway which, when inhibited, results in inhibition of BONl downstream.
- One method of inhibiting expression of an endogenous gene is cosuppression.
- --T s has-been-shownin-petuniawhere-introduction-of a recombinant chalcone synthase or dihydroflavonol4-reductase gene suppressed the homologous native genes (Napoli, C. et ⁇ l, 1990, The Plant Cell 2:279-289; van der Krol, A.R. et al, 1990, The Plant Cell 2:291-299), and in tobacco, where transformation of a partial nopaline synthase gene into the plant suppresses the expression of the endogenous conesponding gene (Goring, D.R. et al, 1991, Proc. Nail.
- expression of a truncated form of the relevant gene in the "sense" orientation can be used to suppress the endogenous expression of the native gene, thus lowering the level of the gene product.
- Another method of inhibiting expression of a gene is supression or inhibition using antisense techniques.
- antisense RNA forms double- stranded RNA with a target gene product, thereby inhibiting action by that gene product. This is generally done by linking, in reverse orientation, the nucleic acid encoding the target gene product, downstream of its promoter, into a vector.
- the nucleic acid encoding the antisense product need not represent the entire gene, nor does it need to be fully homologous to the target RNA, rather, the antisense nucleic acid need only encode an RNA having enough homology to bind to the target RNA, or to be of sufficient length to bind to the target RNA in a region critical to its activity.
- a transgenic plant that is smaller in size than a conesponding wild type plant is produced by introducing a chimeric fusion protein, such as aBONl-GUS fusion protein (or a£ON2-GUS or BON3-GUS fusion protein) into the plant ⁇ e.g., into the second exon or the twelfth exon of a chimeric fusion protein, such as aBONl-GUS fusion protein (or a£ON2-GUS or BON3-GUS fusion protein) into the plant ⁇ e.g., into the second exon or the twelfth exon of
- BONl inhibits BONl (or BON2 or BON3).
- introduction of exogenous nucleic acid which overexpresses of the C-terminus of BONl, BON2 or BON3, or of an N-terminal domain of BAPl can also be used to inhibit the genes.
- the present invention relates to a transgenic plant that is larger in size than a conesponding non-transgenic plant, wherein the transgenic plant comprises an exogenous nucleic acid which enhances BONl, BON2, BON3 and/or-BAPl in-the-plant.
- the enhancing of BONl, BON2, BON3 or BAPl can be partial or complete. Because BONl, BON2, BON3 and BAPl are likely involved in a physiological pathway, "enhancing" of BONl, BON2, BON3 or BAPl can include enhancing the gene, including duplicating and/or overexpressing the gene, mutating the gene (full length) in a way that it has increased expression, etc. Enhancing also includes interfering with the regulation of the gene, e.g., enhancing its expression or the tuning thereof, e.g., altering regulatory sequences associated with the gene.
- Enhancing also includes enhancing the gene product itself, e.g., increasing the ability of the plant to use the product or increasing the activity of the product, either by mutating the gene product so that its use by the plant is increased, or by increasing binding of the expression product to its ligand.
- Polynucleotides encoding BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl or BAL can be obtained or isolated from natural sources, recombinantly produced, or chemically synthesized. In one embodiment, polynucleotides encoding BONl , BON2, BON3, BAPl or BAL can be cloned out of isolated DNA or a cDNA library.
- nucleic acids and polypeptides refened to herein as "isolated" ⁇ e.g., essentially pure) are nucleic acids or polypeptides substantially free ⁇ i.e., separated away from) the material of the biological source from which they were obtained ⁇ e.g., as exists in a mixture of nucleic acids or in cells), and which may have undergone further processing.
- An isolated nucleic acid is not immediately contiguous with ⁇ i.e., covalently linked to) both of the nucleic acids with which it is immediately contiguous in the naturally- occuning genome of the organism from which the nucleic acid is derived.
- lower temperature refers to a temperature at which the transgenic plant of the present invention grows smaller in size, compared to a conesponding non-transgenic plant. Such a lower temperature will vary depending upon the particular plant. For example, the normal temperature for a plant which grows in a temperate region ⁇ e.g., Arabidopsis) is from, about 24°C ro about 37°C.
- Transgenic Arabidopsis in which BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl and/or BAL are inhibited grows smaller in size at about 22°C, compared to a conesponding non- transgenic Arabidopsis plant at 22°C.
- a lower temperature for plants -which-grow n a-temperate region is from..about.0°C to .ahout.23.°C,..from..abQut5 C. to about 20°C, and from about 10°C to about 15°C.
- a lower temperature for a plant is about 22°C.
- a "lower temperature" will vary depending upon the particular plant and the region ⁇ e.g., tropical, temperate, arctic) in which the wild type plant grown and can be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art.
- Plants that are "smaller in size” are smaller than the conesponding wild type plant, and refers to their growth during the time of exposure to lower temperatures relative to wild type plants. For instance, as described herein, bonl mutant plants do not grow as large, and produce smaller and fewer cells, when grown at 22°C relative to wild type plants grown at the same temperature. Ordinarily, plants grown at lower temperatures continue to grow at a slower rate, but still produce normal-sized cells. If the bonl plants are grown at 22°C are then moved to exposure to 28°C, however, the new growth of bonl plants grow at the same rate as the wild type plants, with the bonl plants having a portion of older tissue that is "minaturized", and newer tissue that is normally proportioned.
- the temperature conditions are reversed, that is, if the bonl plants are grown at one temperature ⁇ e.g., 28°C), then switched to lower temperatures ⁇ e.g., 22°C), the bonl plants exhibit older tissue of the same proportions as wild type, while the newer tissues are miniaturized.
- transgenic plants of the present invention that are larger in size are larger than the conesponding wild type plant.
- the invention also encompasses alleles, degenerate variants, fragments, mutants, homologs and analogs of BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl and BAL nucleic acids and proteins.
- An "allele" of a protein is a polypeptide sequence containing a naturally-occuning sequence variation relative to the polypeptide sequence of the reference polypeptide.
- allele of a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide is meant a polynucleotide containing a sequence variation relative to the reference polynucleotide sequence encoding the reference polypeptide, where the allele of the polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide encodes an allelic form of the polypeptide.
- degenerate variants of a nucleic acid are those variant -nucleic- -aoids-mat-di-f-fer-fiom- the -referenGe-sequenGe due-to the-degenerac oft he- genetic code, and encode a protein having the same amino acid sequence as that protein encoded by the reference nucleic acid. Therefore, a degenerate variant of a BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl or BAL nucleic acid sequence is a sequence that contains a silent or conservative substitution and therefore encodes the same protein as the reference polynucleotide sequence.
- a "fragment" of the nucleic acid sequences described herein is a portion of the full length nucleic acid sequence that encodes a protein that retains the biological activity of the full-length protein.
- Such fragments con comprises, for example, from about 50 to about 2000 nucleotides, from about 100 to about 1500 nucleotides, from about 500 to about 1000 nucleotides.
- Such nucleic acids can also comprise additional sequences derived from the process of cloning, e.g., amino acid residues or amino acid sequences conesponding to full or partial linker sequences. To be encompassed by the present invention, such fragments, with or without such additional sequences, must have substantially the same biological activity as the natural or full-length version of the reference polypeptide.
- a “fragment" of a protein is any amino acid sequence shorter than the full length protein, comprising at least about 25 consecutive amino acids of the full length protein. Such a fragment may alternatively comprise about 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 or 50 consecutive amino acids of the full length protein.

- the fragments of the proteins described herein can comprise, for example, from about 100 to about 800 amino acids, from about 200 to about 700 amino acids, from about 300 to about 600 amino acids, and from about 500 to about 500 amino acids.
- the protein fragment can be about 170 consecutive amino acids.
- the protein fragment can be about 180 consecutive amino acids.
- the protein fragment can be about 315 consecutive amino acids.
- the protein fragment can be about 390 consecutive-ammo- acids.—In- another embodiment, the protein -fragment-can-be about 400 consecutive amino acids, h another embodiment, the protein fragment can be about 550 consecutive amino acids.

- additional amino acid residues e.g., amino acid residues or amino acid sequences conesponding to full or partial linker sequences.
- such molecules, with or without such additional amino acid residues must have substantially the same biological activity as the reference polypeptide.
- proteins that have substantially the same amino acid sequence as BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl or BAL, or polynucleotides that have substantially the same nucleic acid sequence as the polynucleotides encoding BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl or BAL.
- substantially the same sequence means a nucleic acid or polypeptide that exhibits at least about 70 % sequence identity, typically at least about 80% sequence identity with the reference sequence, at least about 90% sequence identity, at least about 95% identity, at least about 97%, at least about 98% sequence identity, or at least about 99% sequence identity with the BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl or BAL reference sequence.
- the length of comparison for sequences will generally be at least 75 nucleotide bases or 25 amino acids, more preferably at least 150 nucleotide bases or 50 amino acids, more preferably at least 300 nucleotides or 100 amino acids, and most preferably 600 nucleotides or 200 amino acids.
- the length for comparisn is the full length nucleic acid or amino acid of BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl or BAL.
- Sequence identity refers to the subunit sequence similarity between two polymeric molecules, e.g., two polynucleotides or two polypeptides. When a subunit position in both of the two molecules is occupied by the same monomeric subunit, e.g., if a position in each of two peptides is occupied by serine, then they are identical at that position.
- the identity between two sequences is a direct function of the number of matching or identical positions, e.g., if half (e.g., 5 positions in a polymer 10 subunits in length) of the positions in two peptide or compound sequences are identical, then the two sequences are 50% identical; if 90% of the positions, e.g., 9 of 10 are matched, the two sequences share 90% sequence identity i --By ⁇ way-ofexample,.-the amino-acid-sequences-R 2 R 5 R 7 R 10 R 6 R 3 _and.- have 3 of 6 positions in common, and therefore share 50% sequence identity, while the sequences R 2 R 5 R 7 R 10 R 6 R 3 andRgR j R j nR g j have 3 of 5 positions in common, and therefore share 60% sequence identity.
- sequence identity is a direct function of the number of matching or identical positions. Thus, if a portion of the reference sequence is deleted in a particular peptide, that deleted section is not counted for purposes of calculating sequence identity, e.g., R 2 R 5 R 7 R 10 R 6 R 3 and R 2 R 5 R 7 R 10 R 3 have 5 out of 6 positions in common, and therefore share 83.3% sequence identity. Identity is often measured using sequence analysis software e.g., BLASTN or
- BLASTP (available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/).
- the present invention also includes fusion proteins and chimeric proteins comprising the BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl or BAL proteins, their fragments, mutants, homologs, analogs, and allelic variants.

- the term "fusion or chimeric protein" is intended to encompass changes of this type to the original protein sequence.
- a fusion or chimeric protein can consist of a multimer of a single protein, e.g., repeats of the proteins, or the fusion and chimeric proteins can be made up of several proteins, e.g., several of the proteins. Such fusion or chimeric proteins can be linked together via post-translational modification ⁇ e.g., chemically linked), or the entire fusion protein may be made recombinantly.

- vector as used herein means a carrier into which pieces of nucleic acid may be inserted or cloned, which canier functions to transfer the pieces of nucleic acid into a host cell.
- Such a vector may also bring about the replication and/or expression of the transfened nucleic acid pieces.
- vectors include nucleic acid molecules derived, e.g., from a plasmid, bacteriophage, or mammalian, plant or insect virus, or non- viral vectors such as ligand-nucleic acid conjugates, liposomes, or lipid-nucleic acid complexes. It may be desirable that the transfened nucleic molecule is operatively linked to an expression control sequence to form an expression vector capable of expressing the transfened nucleic acid.
- Such transfer of nucleic acids is generally called "transformation,” and refers to the insertion of an exogenous polynucleotide into a host cell, inespective of the method used for the insertion. For example, direct uptake, transduction or f-mating are included.
- the exogenous polynucleotide may be maintained as a non-integrated vector, for example, a plasmid, or alternatively, may be integrated into the host genome.
- operably linked refers to a situation wherein the components described are in a relationship permitting them to function in their intended manner, e.g., a control sequence "operably linked” to a coding sequence is ligated in such a manner that expression of the coding sequence is achieved under conditions compatirjle with the control sequence.
- a "coding sequence” is a polynucleotide sequence which is transcribed into mRNA and translated into a polypeptide when placed under the control of (e.g., operably linked to) appropriate regulatory sequences. The boundaries of the coding sequence are determined by a translation start codon at the 5 '-terminus and a translation stop codon at the 3'-terminus.
- a coding sequence can include, but is not limited to, mRNA, cDNA, and recombinant polynucleotide sequences.
- a polynucleotide Once a polynucleotide has been cloned into a suitable vector, it can be ⁇ transformed-into-an-appropriate-hostcell.

- the oligonucleotide should preferably be labeled with ⁇ - P-ATP (specific activity 6000 Ci/mmole) and T4 polynucleotide kinase using commonly employed techniques for labeling oligonucleotides. Other labeling techniques can also be used. Unincorporated label should preferably be removed by gel filtration chromatography or other established methods. The amount of radioactivity incorporated into the probe should be quantitated by measurement in a scintillation counter. Preferably, specific activity of the resulting probe should be approximately 4 x 10 dpm/pmole.
- the bacterial culture containing the pool of full-length clones should preferably be thawed and 100 ⁇ l of the stock used to inoculate a sterile culture flask containing 25 ml of sterile L-broth containing ampicillin at 100 ⁇ g/ml.
- the culture should preferably be grown to saturation at 37°C, and the saturated culture should preferably be diluted in fresh L-broth.
- Aliquots of these dilutions should preferably be plated to determine the dilution and volume which will yield approximately 5000 distinct and well-separated colonies on solid bacteriological media containing L-broth containing ampicillin at 100 ⁇ g/ml and agar at 1.5% in a 150 mm petri dish when grown overnight at 37°C. Other known methods of obtaining distinct, well-separated colonies can also be employed.
- Standard colony hybridization procedures should then be used to transfer the colonies to nitrocellulose filters, followed by lysing, denaturing and baking them.
- Highly stringent condition are those that are at least as stringent as, for example, lx SSC at 65°C, or lx SSC and 50% formamide at 42°C.

- the positive colonies are then picked, grown in culture, and plasmid DNA isolated using standard procedures.
- Stringency conditions for hybridization refers to conditions of temperature and buffer composition which permit hybridization of a first nucleic acid sequence to a second nucleic acid sequence, wherein the conditions determine the degree of identity between those sequences which hybridize.to each other. Therefore, "high stringency conditions" are those conditions wherein only nucleic acid sequences which are very similar to each other will hybridize. The sequences may be less similar to each other if they hybridize under moderate stringency conditions. Still less similarity is needed for two sequences to hybridize under low stringency conditions.
- hybridization conditions By varying the hybridization conditions from a stringency level at which no hybridization occurs, to a level at which hybridization is first observed, conditions can be determined at which a given sequence will hybridize to those sequences that are most similar to it.
- the precise conditions determining the stringency of a particular hybridization include not only the ionic strength, temperature, and the concentration of destabilizing agents such as formamide, but also on factors such as the length of the nucleic acid sequences, their base composition, the percent of mismatched base pairs between the two sequences, and the frequency of occurrence of subsets of the sequences (e.g., small stretches of repeats) within other non-identical sequences.
- Washing is the step in which conditions are set so as to determine a minimum level of similarity between the sequences hybridizing with each other. Generally, from the lowest temperature at which only homologous hybridization occurs, a 1% mismatch between two sequences results in a 1°C decrease in the melting temperature (T m ) for any chosen SSC concentration. -Generally, a-doubling ofthe-eoneentration-of SSG-resu-lts-in-an- increase in the T m of about 17°C. Using these guidelines, the washing temperature can be determined empirically, depending on the level of mismatch sought. Hybridization and wash conditions are explained in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (Ausubel, F.M. et al, eds., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1995, with supplemental updates) on pages 2.10.1 to 2.10.16, and 6.3.1 to 6.3.6.

- the vector can be any vector which permits the expression of the exogenous DNA in plant cells mto which the vector is introduced.
- the transformed cells are then cultivated under conditions appropriate for the -regeneration of-plants, resultingin production of transgenic plants.
- nucleic acid constructs of this invention can also be incorporated into specific plant parts through the transformation and transfection techniques described herein.
- the constructs and methods of this invention can be adapted to any plant part, protoplast, or tissue culture wherein the tissue is derived from a photosynthetic organism.
- plant part is meant to include a portion of a plant capable of producing a regenerated plant. Preferable plant parts include cells, roots, shoots and meristematic portions thereof.
- plant parts encompassed by this invention are: leaves, stems, roots, flowers, seeds, epicotyls, hypocotyls, cotyledons, cotyledonary nodes, explants, pollen, ovules, meristematic or embryonic tissue, protoplasts, cells, explants and the like.
- Transgenic plants can be regenerated from any of these plant parts, including tissue culture or protoplasts, and also from explants. Methods will vary according to the species of plant.
- nucleic acid constructs include Agrobacterium-mediated transformation (see for example Smith, R.H. et ⁇ l., U.S. Patent No. 5,164,310 (1992)), electroporation (see for example, Calvin, N., U.S. Patent No. 5,098,843 (1992)), introduction using laser beams (see for example, Kasuya, T. et ⁇ , U.S. Patent No. 5,013,660 (1991)) or introduction using agents such as polyethylene glycol (see for example Golds, T. et ⁇ l. (1993) Biotechnology 11 :95-97), and the like.

- introduction using laser beams see for example, Kasuya, T. et ⁇ , U
- plant cells may be transformed with a variety of vectors, such as viral, episomal vectors, Ti plasmid vectors and the like, in accordance with well known procedures.
- vectors such as viral, episomal vectors, Ti plasmid vectors and the like.
- the method of introduction of the nucleic acid into the plant cell is not critical to this invention.
- the constructs of this invention are further manipulated to include genes coding for plant selectable markers.
- Useful selectable markers include enzymes wliich provide for resistance to an antibiotic such as gentamycin, hygromycin, kanamycin, or the like.
- enzymes providing- for production of-a-compound-identifiable by- color- change- such as GUS ( ⁇ -glucuronidase), or by luminescence, such as luciferase, are useful.
- the cells or protoplasts containing the nucleic acids of the invention are obtained, the cells or protoplasts are regenerated into whole plants. Plant cells which have been transformed can be regenerated using known techniques. It is known that practically all plants can be regenerated from cultured cells or tissues. The transformed cells are then cultivated under conditions appropriate for the regeneration of plants, resulting in production of transgenic plants. Choice of methodology for the regeneration step is not critical, with suitable protocols being available for many varieties of plants, tissues and other photosynthetic organisms. See, e.g., Gelvin S.B. and Schilperoort R.A., eds. Plant Molecular Biology Manual, Second Edition, Suppl. 1 (1995) Kluwer Academic Publishers, Boston MA, USA.
- Means for regeneration vary from species to species of plants, but generally a suspension of transformed protoplasts or a petri plate containing transformed explants is first provided. Callus tissue is formed and shoots may be induced from callus and subsequently rooted. Alternatively, somatic embryo formation can be induced in the callus tissue. These somatic embryos germinate as natural embryos to form plants.
- the culture media will generally contain various amino acids and plant hormones, such as auxin and cytokinins. It is also advantageous to add glutamic acid and proline to the medium, especially for such species as corn and alfalfa. Efficient regeneration will depend on the medium, on the genotype, and on the history of the culture. If these three variables are controlled, then regeneration is usually reproducible and repeatable.
- the regenerated plants are transfened to standard soil conditions and cultivated in a conventional manner.
- plant Because of the plasticity of culture of many plant species, the terms "plant”, “plant part”, “plant cell”, and “tissue culture” are intended to be used somewhat interchangably herein. For instance, it is possible, indeed common in the art of plant -transformation and -tissue culture, -for one ⁇ to-transform either-.aplant,-a plant-part,, one or more plant cells, and/or a tissue culture. Once transformed, any of these may be maintained for a time, converted to another, subcultured, and regenerated into a whole plant, from which seed may then be grown. As an example, one can use microparticle bombardment to transform cells in a single leaf on a plant.
- the plant may then be grown for a time (or not), and the leaf then separated from the plant, and either maintained on growth medium as a leaf, or (through changing the media components) grown as callus (undifferentiated tissue) or protoplasts (single plant cells).
- the callus or protoplasts may be either subcultured further as callus or protoplasts, or the callus may be converted to protoplasts, and vice versa.
- Either may be grown to generate individual plant parts (by manipulation of the hormone conditions in the media to preferentially produce roots and/or shoots, etc.), or to regenerate into whole plants (also by hormone manipulation).
- the regenerated plant may then again be cultured into plant parts, cuttings, plant cells, callus, tissue cultures, etc., or may be grown for seed.
- transgenic plant is intended to encompass any subculturing, regenerant, seed, or progeny of the transgenic plant, that canies the introduced nucleic acid. It is also due to this plasticity that the term "derived from” is intended to encompass plants, plant parts, plant cells, tissue cultures and explants that are descended from a given plant. For mstance, in the case where a descendant com plant that has been regenerated from a callus culture which was grown from transformed protoplasts taken from a leaf of an originating maize plant, the descendant plant is said to be "derived from” the originating maize plant. The intervening protoplasts and callus are also said to be "derived from” the originating maize plant.
- the methods of this invention can be used with in planta or seed transformation techniques which do not require culture or regeneration. Examples of these techniques are described in Bechtold, N. et al. (1993) C.R. Acad. Sci. Paris/Life Sciences 316:118-93; Chang, S.S. et al. ⁇ 1990) Abstracts ofthe Fourth International Conference on Arabidopsis Research, Viemia, p. 28; Feldmann, K.A. and Marks, D.M (1987) Mol. Gen. Genet. 208:1-9; Ledoux, L. et al. (1985)
- the nucleic acid to be introduced After the nucleic acid to be introduced is stably incorporated into regenerated transgenic plants, it can be transfened to other plants by sexual crossing. Any of a number of standard breeding techniques can be used, depending upon the species to be crossed. The plants are grown and harvested using conventional procedures. Such plants, if they continue to contain the introduced nucleic acid of the invention, are intended to be a "transgenic plant", as the term is used herein.
- Transgenic plants carrying the construct are examined for the desired phenotype using a variety of methods including, but not limited to, an appropriate phenotypic marker, such as antibiotic resistance or herbicide resistance, or visual observation, or biochemical or other methods of assaying the transgenic plant compared to a conesponding non-transgenic plant.
- an appropriate phenotypic marker such as antibiotic resistance or herbicide resistance, or visual observation, or biochemical or other methods of assaying the transgenic plant compared to a conesponding non-transgenic plant.
- conesponding non- transgenic plant is meant a plant of the same species, and if applicable, same cultivar, variety, or genetic background, that was not transformed.
- transgenic plants include, in one embodiment, transgenic plants which are angiosperms, both monocotyledons and dicotyledons.
- Transgenic plants include those into which DNA has been introduced and their progeny, produced from seed, vegetative propagation, cell, tissue or protoplast culture, or the like.
- constructs and methods described herein can be applied to all types of plants and other photosynthetic organisms, including, but not limited to: angiosperms (monocots and dicots), gymnosperms, spore-bearing or vegetatively- reproducing plants and the algae, including the cyanophyta (blue-green algae).
- Particularly prefened plants are those plants which provide commercially- aluable food crops such as the large and small grains (e.g., com, wheat, rice, sorghum, etc.), oil plants (e.g., canola, sunflower, com, soybean, peanut, etc.), vegetable crops (e.g., luttuce, spinach, pepper, potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, canots, peas, beans, etc.), fruits (e.g., apple, plum, orange, lemon, etc.), ornamental plants (e.g., rose, cut flowers, etc.), and other commercially-important plants (e.g., cotton, sugar cane, sugar beet- tobacco, grasses-, etc.).
- the large and small grains e.g., com, wheat, rice, sorghum, etc.
- oil plants e.g., canola, sunflower, com, soybean, peanut, etc.
- vegetable crops e.g., luttuce, spinach, pepper
- Seed can be obtained from the regenerated plant or from a cross between the regenerated plant and a suitable plant of the same species. Seed may also be obtained from plant parts, e.g., meristems grown in tissue culture. Alternatively, the plant can be vegetatively propagated by culturing plant parts under conditions suitable for the regeneration of such plant parts.
- the nucleic acid and ammo acid sequences of the present invention can be used in a variety of ways, e.g., the transgenic plants containing the BONl, BON2, BON3, the BAPl and/or the BAL mutant(s) can be used to produce plants which grow slowly at lower temperatures.
- Such a trait would be useful in turf grasses, for instance, where it maybe undesirable or labor-intensive to maintain, e.g., in low- traffic areas where the appearance of lawn is to be maintained, but the labor of mowing can be reduced.
- miniaturized plants can be used in situations where a normal-sized plant or plant product is less desirable, e.g., miniaturized ornamental plants, such as smaller flower, vegetable or fruit plants for use by apartment residents, "no-care" bonsai trees, miniature water lilies, miniature fruits as novelties, etc., or low growth where extensive growth is undesirable.
- miniaturized ornamental plants such as smaller flower, vegetable or fruit plants for use by apartment residents, "no-care" bonsai trees, miniature water lilies, miniature fruits as novelties, etc., or low growth where extensive growth is undesirable.
- Another embodiment of the invention is the production of "baby vegetables.”
- Baby corn for instance, is very popular in Asian cuisine, and is the ear or maize which has been harvested young, before pollination has taken place, either before the silks have emerged, or just after, depending on the cultivar. Because baby com is the immature ear of conventional maize, a great deal of land must be used to produce this vegetable, and the plants themselves are close to full height when the ears are produced.
- bonl corn plants can be made which grow as miniatures at cool temperatures.
- a relatively southern climate e.g., southern Georgia or northern Florida
- the plants will grow as miniatures during the cooler (but not freezing) winter.
- Such com planted for baby co production, can be grown at a much ⁇ ⁇ Mgher-density- an-standard-si-zed-eom- ⁇ plant-s ⁇ -and-during a-time-of year-when other crops are not grown.
- Other "baby” vegetables can also be grown in this way, such as baby turnips, eggplants, and canots.
- Another embodiment of the invention is a method of producing a transgenic plant that is able to grown at a higher altitude or in a cooler temperature region that a conesponding non-transgenic plant, comprising introducing into the plant an isolated nucleic acid that enhances BONl, BON2, BON3, BAPl and/or BAL in the plant.
- the invention also encompases the plant produced by the method, where the plant are able to be grown at a higher altitude or in a cooler temperature region that a conesponding non-transgenic plant.
- Another embodiment of the invention is the production of larger plants, or plants that grow at lower than normal temperatures or to modulate homeostasis at higher altitudes.
- Such plants can be produced by enhancing BONl, BON2, BON3 or BAPl, e.g., by overexpression as described herein.
- Such larger plants can be used in situations where larger fruits or vegetables are desired, or where increased biomass (total amount of vegetable matter produced by the plant per unit of land) is desired, e.g., for biomass for paper production.
- a 0.5 kb genomic fragment outside the left border of the T-DNA was rescued by using Universal Genome Walker kit (Clontech, Palo Alto, California, USA).
- the sequence of this 0.5 kb fragment revealed its location on TAC clone K22G18 from the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center.
- a 6.5 kb BamHL fragment containing the gene was subcloned from this TAC clone.
- a cDNA clone was isolated from an Arabidopsis cDNA library CD4-14 obtained from the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center.
- BON1-GUS fusion a 5 kb BamHL/BglLL fragment was cloned into PZP212 vector (Diener, A.C., H. Li et al. (2000) Plant Cell 12(6):853-70).
- aBam ⁇ LL site was introduced by PCR method to the genomic BONl gene to replace the stop codon.
- the 3xHA epitope was amplified and ligated into the BamHL site at the last codon of BONl so that it would be in frame with BONl .
- the BONl -HA fusion was then inserted into pCGN-NOS .
- Plasmids were introduced into Agrobacterium strain ASE (Fraley, R.T., S.G. Rogers et al. (1985) Bio/Technology 3:629-635) or GV3101 (Koncz, C, J. Schell (1986) Mol. Gen. Genet. 204:383-396) by electroporation, and transformed into wild-type Col-0, bonl-l/+ or bonl-1 by the floral dip method (Clough, SJ. and A.F. Bent (1998) Plant J. 16(6):735-43).
- Leaf mesophyll protoplasts were isolated from 3-week-old Arabidopsis plants and were transfected by a modified polyethylene glycol method as described previously (Abel, S. and A. Theologis (1994) Plant J. 5(3):421-7). 10,000 protoplasts were transfected with 10 ⁇ g of DNA and then incubated at 23°C for 9 hours before subcelluar localization was determined with a confocal microscope. Confocal laser scanning micrographs of transfected protoplasts were recorded using a Leica microscope (Leica Microsystems, Heidelburg, Germany) equipped with a laser scanning unit (TCS NT).
- TCS NT laser scanning unit
- Two hybrid screen DNA was prepared from the Arabidopsis thaliana MATCFfMAKER cDNA library in E. coli (Clontech, Palo Alto, California, USA).
- the library complexity was 3xl0 6 .
- DNA was transformed into yeast strain PJ69-4 (James, P., J. Halladay et al (1996) Genetics 144(4): 1425-36) and 2.5xl0 7 yeast transformants were pooled as the library.
- the bait (A domain of BONl) was cloned between EcoRI and BamHL sites of pGBD-C2 and transformed into PJ49-4a.
- the library cells were mated with the bait A cells.
- a screening protocol Robottson, L.S., H.C.
- BONl is a gene required for nomial plant size at 22°C.
- the inflorescence stem is thinner and shorter than the- wild type (Fig. ID).
- Fig. ID The bonl-1 plants nevertheless develop relatively normal flowers and siliques and are completely fertile, bonl-1 does not have a dramatic effect on the timing of developmental process. It bolts and sets seeds only slightly earlier than the wild type.
- the bonl phenotype is genetically distinct from that of previously identified hormonal dwarf mutants such as axrl, det2, or Ctrl.
- the bonl-1 defect cannot be rescued by the addition of hormones such as gibberellin or brassinosteroid, or by mutations in hormonal signaling.
- the bonl-1 mutant is distinct from the cold-sensitive mutants deficient in the desaturation of the lipids in the membranes (Lightner, J., D.W.J. James et al. (1994) Plant J. 6(3):401-412) because bonl-1 does not have an altered lipid composition or altered composition of saturated fatty acids in the lipids.
- BONl is required to maintain cell size and number at 22°C.
- the length of the bonl-1 cells is approximately seven times shorter than that of the wild type, which accounts for most of the eight-fold reduction in bonl stem length at the ⁇ n ⁇ -permissivelemperat ⁇ about two-thirds as wide as-the- wild-type cell. There are also half as many cells per epidermal circumference in a bonl-1 mutant as there are in the wild type, although the number of cells along the length of the same was nearly the same as in the wild type. Analysis of whole stem cross sections revealed similar defects in the inner cells: there were fewer and smaller inner cells inside the stem. Reduction in the size of the pavement cells was observed by SEM on the leaf epidermis.
- BONl is expressed in Growing Tissues and the Expression is Modulated by Temperature.
- the BONl gene was cloned on the basis of the T-DNA insertion that results in the bonl phenotype.
- the mutation which segregated as a single recessive trait in the F 2 populations of a backcross to wild-type Columbia, was completely linked to the single T-DNA insertion in this mutant.
- a 6.5 kb wild-type genomic fragment was isolated, which flanked the T-DNA and a conesponding cDNA of this genomic fragment. Sequence alignment of the genomic fragment and the cDNA indicates that the BONl gene is comprised of 16 exons and 15 introns (Fig. 2 A).
- the T-DNA is inserted in the twelfth exon of the gene.
- the bonl-1 mutant defect was complemented either with the genomic fragment or a cDNA-GFP (green fluorescent protein) fusion, confirming the identity of the gene as BONl.
- Northern blot analysis showed that there was no wild-type RNA transcript of this gene in the mutant, bonl -2 (Fig. 2 A) was subsequently isolated in the Wassilewskijas background and it exhibited a phenotype similar to that of bonl-1 when introduced into the Columbia background.
- the BONl gene is predicted to encode a protein of 578 amino acids.
- the N- terminal portion of the protein consists of two calcium-dependent phospholipid- binding C2 domains (C2A and C2B) and the C-te ⁇ rrmal portion exhibits weak similarity to the A domain of integrih (Fig. 2B).
- the BONl protein shows extensive homology to the copine gene family. Members of this family have been found in paramecium, worm, mouse, and human and are thought to be calcium-dependent phospholipid binding proteins (Creutz, C.E., J.L. Tomsig et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273(3):1393-402). In each organism there is more than one member of the gene family in the genome.
- Arabidopsis thaliana BONl has two paralogs that have been designated BON2 and BON3. These paralogs are between 72-81% identical and 81- 91% similar to each other at the amino acid level. These plant proteins are very similar to their human counterparts. Arabidopsis BONl has 50% identity and 67% similarity to human copine I over the entire sequence, as shown in Fig. 3.
- the level of expression of BONl RNA is regulated by temperature, especially during later development. Plants were first grown at one temperature for one month and then half of the population was moved to another temperature for 12 hours. The RNA level of BONl increased about two-fold when plants were shifted from 28°C to 22°C (Fig. 4D, lanes 1 and 2). Conversely, there was a decrease in BONl RNA level when plants were moved from 22°C to 28°C (Fig. 4D, lanes 3 and 4). In plants less than 2 weeks old, BONl had a relatively high expression level, as compared with older plants. In these plants there was not much difference in the level of BONl expression between plants grown at 22°C and those grown at 28°C.
- BONl is a Phospholipid Binding Protein Associated With the Plasma Membrane
- BONl contains two C2 domains at the amino-terminus.
- C2 domains are Ca dependent phospholipid-binding domains that confer calcium and/or phospholipid modulation on the activity of the associated domain (Kopka, J., C. Pical et al. (1998) Plant Mol. Biol. 36(5):627-37).
- the binding assay utilized a tagged (6x His) BONl protein that was expressed and purified from E. coli.
- BONl-HA was not detected in protein extracts from chloroplast, nuclei or cell walls, but was present in the microsomal fraction.
- the microsomal fraction of BONl-HA plants was separated on a 25% to 50% (w/v) sucrose gradient. The relative position of various membranes on the gradient was determined by assaying fractions for marker proteins specific to each membrane.
- the BONl-HA protein exhibited a distribution similar to that of the plasma membrane ATPase (Fig. 5D), and distinct from ER, vacuole, and Golgi.
- the plasma membrane localization of BONl indicated by cell fractionation was further supported by analysis in a transient expression system.
- a BON1-GFP fusion under a strong promoter was electroporated into Arabidopsis protoplasts and the expression of GFP was monitored eight hours later with confocal microscope.
- the GFP signal was mostly concentrated on the outer membrane of protoplasts, • indicating- a-plasma -membrane-localization.
- BONl could stimulate cell expansion and cell division would be to enhance membrane trafficking by facilitating the association and fusion of vesicles with the membrane.
- the ability of BONl to enhance vesicle aggregation in vitro was tested using an assay that measures the turbidity of a lipid solution. Aggregation of the lipid vesicles is accompanied by an increase in turbidity (monitored by the absorbance at 540 nm). Constructs encoding the full- length BONl protein, the N-terminal 2C2 domain, and the C-terminal A domain each with 6x His tags were expressed in E. coli and the resulting His-tagged proteins were purified.
- BAPl is a BONl Interacting Protein.
- the A domain (from Val to Pro ) was used as bait because it is the most likely segment of BONl to be involved in protein-protein interactions (Creutz, C.E., J.L. Tomsig et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273(3):1393-402).
- a cDNA library made from the vegetative tissues of 3-week-old plants was screened for clones that signaled an interaction with this bait. Twenty-three positive clones rescue -from-the-screen are the same-gene r -which was..called-the ?O-YI Association. Proteinl ⁇ BAPl).
- BAPl encodes a protein of 192 amino acids.
- the two-hybrid clone comprises the entire BAPl except for the first 6 amino acids.
- a blast search reveals that it has homology to another putative Arabidopsis protein in the database which, for purposes of this study, was called BAL:BAP1 Like.
- SMART Simple Modular Architecture Research Tool
- search indicates that the amino-terminal part of BAPl (approximately 120 amino acids) has sequence homology and stmctural analogy to the C2 domain.
- C2 domain family is very divergent (Rizo, J., T.C. Sudhof (1998) J. Biol. Chem.
- BAPl 273(26): 15879-82
- the C2 domain of BAPl is not significantly homologous to those of BONl at the protein sequence level.
- the C-terminal 52 amino acids of BAPl is 54% identical to those of BAL, but does not show significant homology to any known motifs.
- BAPl Has a Similar Function to BONl.
- BAPl is expressed ubiquitously throughout the roots, leaves, stems, and flowers with expression in leaves and stems relatively higher than in other parts of the plant, and BAPl also has higher expression in roots (Fig. 7A).
- the expression of BAPl is modulated by temperature. There was an increase in BAPl RNA when plants were shifted from higher to lower temperature (Fig. 7B). Conversely, higher temperature repressed BAPl expression (Fig. 7B).
- BAPl expression is affected by BONl. h the bonl-1 mutant, there was more BAPl transcript and the modulation of its expression by temperature was more pronounced than in wild type (Fig. 7B).
- BAPl has a similar function to that of BONl
- the BAPl gene was expressed under the CaMV 35S promoter and the transgene was introduced into the bonl-1 mutant. If the two proteins are involved in the same event, then overexpression of BAPl would likely suppress the mutant defects of the bonl mutant.
- nine transgenic lines analyzed nine showed suppression to varying degrees, ranging from good (1), moderate (3), to weak (5) (Fig. 7C). Those plants that were partially suppressed had more elongated stems and more expanded leaves -than-the-bon-i-mutant. Thus-overexpression of PI an-suppress the defectin. bonl, but the extent of suppression may be modified by the site of transgene integration or transgene silencing.
- the bonl phenotype differs from that of a typical cold sensitive mutation in a vital gene. Null mutations in a vital gene would be lethal at all temperatures, whereas BONl function and BONl protein are required to maintain normal plant size at low temperature. Mutants with a conditional cold-sensitive phenotype similar to that of bonl have been identified previously (Tsukaya, H., S. Naito et al. (1993) Development 118:751-764; Akamatsu, T., Y. Hanzawa et al. (1999) Plant Physiol. 121(3):715-22).
- mutants grow normally at 28°C and have reduced stem elongation and leaf expansion at the lower temperature. It is possible that they could be involved in the same genetic pathway as BONl or in a parallel pathway that maintains size at low temperature. However, such conclusions are premature because neither the identity of the genes nor the nature of the mutations responsible for these phenotypes are known.
- Arabidopsis mutant with increased levels of stearate, also exhibits a miniature phenotype at 22°C, which can be suppressed only at the very high temperature of 36°C (Lightner, J., D.W.J. James et al. (1994) Plant! 6(3):401-412).
- BONl and BAPl are expressed more strongly in growing tissues than in mature tissues.
- both BONl and BAPl expression are under temperature control in that both have elevated expression when plants are shifted from high to lower temperature.
- BONl protein likely regulates membrane biogenesis and cell wall remodeling through exocytosis, which ultimately controls cell size.
- All copines have a similar domain structure: the C2 amino tenninal domain and a carboxyl-terminal A domain.
- the full length Arabidopsis BONl protein and the truncated C2 domain bind phospholipids and the binding is stimulated by calcium.
- BONl promotes aggregation of lipid vesicles in vitro. Therefore, all copines may have similar biochemical activities in addition to structural similarities. Previous work provided only a few hints as to the subcellular localization of copines.
- N-copine was localized to postsynaptic membranes where synaptic plasticity occurs (Nakayama, T, T T,Yaoi ⁇ et al, (-1-9-9-9) J.-Neurochem.J2(l):313 9) and one. of the.chromaffm granule-binding proteins (chromobindin 17) is likely to be a copine (Creutz, C.E., J.L. Tomsig et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273(3):1393-402).
- the data herein show that BONl protein is mainly associated with the plasma membrane.
- copine/BAPl proteins may be required to accelerate a process that occurs less rapidly at low temperature. Indeed, some of the mutations defective in membrane fusion are cold-sensitive in yeast (Lehman, K., G. Rossi et al. (1999) J. Cell Biol. 146(1): 125-40; Otte, S., W.J. Belden et al. (2001) J. Cell Biol. 152(3):503-518).
- BONl functions in temperature homeostasis either by acting catalytically (increasing the fusion of vesicles with the membrane) or structurally (by associating with the plasma membrane to maintain membrane function at low temperature).
- a protein kinase activity was attributed to the A domain of human copine HI (Caudell, E.G., jj. Caudell et al. (2000) Biochem. 39(42): 13034- 43) suggesting that these proteins have enzymatic function.
- Copines in other organisms may function similarly to accelerate vesicle trafficking in response to specific environmental signals. For example, the neuronal copines could accelerate membrane trafficking at the synapse upon chemical stimulation thereby enhancing synaptic transmission.
- acll, acl3 and al4 mutants are not identical to the BONl.
- h acll mutants Tesukaya, H., S. Naito et al. (1993) Development 1-1-8 :-751-764
- the length of -the-Gells- is less than tha of wild -type, as hx-bonl— mutants, but unlike the bonl mutants, the number of cells in the leaves and intemodes is the same as in wild type plants. In bonl, the number, as well as the size of the cells, is decreased relative to wild type plants.
- acll mutants exhibit cessation of development of the inflorescence meristems at 22°C, whereas the meristems in bonl mutants grow shorter than wild type, but do not cease growth.
- the acl3 and acl4 mutants were mapped to chromosomes 3 and 4, respectively (Akamatsu, T., Y. Hanzawa et al. (1999) Plant Physiol. 121(3):715-22).
- BONl shows some similarity to GenBahk accession AB022212, which is located on Arabidopsis chromosome 5.
- BAPl shows some similarity to GenBahk accession AL137898, which is located on Arabidopsis chromosome 3.
- the full-length BONl gene was translationally fused with a reporter gene GUS and transformed to wild type Arabidopsis.
- the transformants exhibited bonl-1 phenotype in that they were miniature plants with small curly leaves and short stems, very similar to bonl-1. Furthermore, this phenotype was exhibited only at 22°C, but not at 28°C, as was bonl-1. Therefore, the BON1-GUS chimeric gene acts either in a dominant negative fashion or induces cosuppression in wild type plants. This finding provides a method to generate miniature plants in other species.
- the N-terminal 1wo-thirds of the BAPl gene was translationally fused with GUS gene and was introduced into wild-type Arabidopsis.
- the transgenic plants exhibited dwarf phenotype and some exhibited anested growth, which led to death before flowering.
- the phenotype is pronounced to that of the bonl-1 mutant.
- this phenotype was temperature dependent, and was present at lower temperature, but absent at higher temperature. This finding shows that BAPl acts closely with BONl in plants. BONl and BAPl are involved in the same process of maintaining growth homeostasis at lower temperature.
- Example 4 Overexpression of BONl.
- the BONl gene was expressed under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter and transformed into wild type Arabidopsis, as described above. Approximately 1/5 of the transformants exhibited larger leaves and thicker stems than equivalent wild type plants, and the increase in size appeared to be due to an increase in both cell size and cell number. Overexpression of BONl therefore appears to result in increased growth and larger plants as compared to wild type.
- the BAPl gene was expressed under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter and transformed into wild type Arabidopsis. Approximately 50% of the transformants exhibited larger leaves and more extensive root growth than equivalent wild type plants. Overexpression of BAPl therefore appears to result in increased growth and larger plants as compared to wild type.
- Maize plants were grown in the dark until the leaves were 10 cm long. The leaves were cut into 0.5mm strips, digested in cellulase and macerozyme in a shaking flask. The protoplasts were then purified. The BONl -GFP fusion, prepared as described above, was introduced into the maize protoplasts by electroporation.
- the chimeric protein was expressed in plasma membrane, as it was expressed in
